INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

MACRO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS

 

Global uncertainties and domestic cyclical and structural factors lowered the growth of Indian economy to below seven per cent in 2011-12 as compared to the growth rate of 8.4 per cent for 2010-11. As per Advance Estimates of Central Statistics Office for 2011-12, Agriculture is estimated to grow by 2.5%, industry by 3.6% and services by 8.8%. All three sectors are contributing to the consolidation of growth. More importantly, the economy has shown remarkable resilience to both external and domestic shocks.

 

The growth slowdown has been driven by a sharp fall in investment, some moderation in private consumption and

a fall in net external demand. Decline in saving and investment rates constitute a concern for long-term growth performance.

 

The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) figures were not very encouraging through most of the Financial Year 2011-12, only with a slight recovery in the month of November’11.

 

However, the latest release by MOSPI shows that IIP growth (Y-o-Y) has slipped down during the last quarter, much below  the market expectations.

 

Generalised price pressures softened as growth deceleration eased demand. This is also evident in a significant decline in core inflation during Q4 of 2011-12. Primary food inflation reversed after a sharp decline as transitory effects waned. Energy prices are likely to remain a significant source of inflation ahead, as suppressed domestic prices of oil, coal and electricity prices are adjusted upwards. Wage price pressures in both rural and urban areas are yet to soften. Consumer price inflation also remains high. Inflation expectations moderated in Q4 of 2012-13 but remain high. With significant upside risks to inflation, monetary policy needs to keep them anchored, while shifting the balance of policy to arrest the deceleration in growth momentum.

 

 

MONETARY AND LIQUIDITY CONDITIONS

 

Though inflation remains high, declining inflation and growth rates motivated the Reserve Bank to shift to a neutral monetary policy stance since December 2011, leaving policy rates unchanged.

 

The liquidity deficit has turned large since November 2011 due to both structural and frictional factors, mainly forex operations and a build up of Government’s cash balances, respectively. Liquidity deficit eased in April 2012 due to large government spending.

 

The Reserve Bank injected durable primary liquidity of over Rs.2 trillion through open market operations (OMOs) purchase and a 125 basis point reduction in Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) to address the structural liquidity deficit.

 

Reserve money growth decelerated in Q4 of 2011-12, reflecting the CRR cuts. However, the pace of adjusted reserve money creation has recently picked up. Broad money growth fell below the indicative trajectory of the Reserve Bank for end-March 2012, reflecting a deceleration in deposit growth.

 

 

BOP AND EXTERNAL SECTOR

 

The Balance of Payments (BoP) came under significant stress in Q3 of 2011-12. Net capital inflows fell short of the current account deficit (CAD), resulting in a substantial drawdown of Reserves. A wider current account deficit, rising external debt, weakening net international investment position (NIIP) and deteriorating vulnerability indicators underscored the need for greater prudence in external sector and demand management policies.

 

India’s trade deficit hit a record high of USD 184.9 bn, i.e., 9.9% of GDP for the fiscal year that ended in March 2012 (as against previous year’s deficit of USD 118.7 bn or 7.1% of GDP) owing to subdued export growth (21% growth to USD 303.7 bn) coupled with high imports (32.1% growth to USD 488.6 bn).

 

Export growth may weaken despite continued trade diversification as growth in emerging and developing economies slows down. The imports bill will remain high due to inadequate pass through of higher global oil prices and demand for precious metals, viz., gold and silver is curbed. While capital inflows have improved in Q4 of 2011-12, global uncertainties and persistently high oil prices aggravate downside risks to the external outlook. Dependence on debt-creating capital inflows needs to be reduced by encouraging renewed equity flows through accelerated reforms to attract FDI.

 

 

EQUITY MARKET

 

Despite the slowdown in domestic growth and the recent oil price increase, Indian equity markets stayed upbeat in Q4 of 2011-12, conditioned by the revival in global markets, the surge in FII inflows and the decline in domestic inflation.

 

Reflecting the prevailing structural liquidity deficit coupled with outflows for advance tax payment by companies, money market rates remained elevated. Taking cues from favourable international developments and improved financial conditions, Indian Financial Markets revived in Q4 of 2011-12. The revival, however, has been primarily liquidity driven and expectations led. For recovery to be sustained, macroeconomic fundamentals need to improve. Global liquidity and attractive valuations have driven a 15-17% rally in the Indian stock market from the start of 2012. BSE Sensex lost 12.5% and NSE Nifty lost 11.2% during 2011-12.

 

 

DEBT MARKET

 

Tight liquidity conditions saw money market rates firm up. G-sec yields also firmed up post-budget in response to the large market borrowing programme. Stress in global financial markets eased significantly during Q1 of 2012 after the European Commercial Bank made a large liquidity injection. Going forward, there are risks of disruptive movements from euro area and monetisation of commodities, especially oil, in the global markets. The yields on government bonds fell for most part of the 4th quarter, although the trend reversed following the budget announcements of higher borrowing in 2012-13. Policy measures taken by the Reserve Bank have reduced volatility in the currency markets. For the next financial year, Govt. has announced gross borrowing of Rs.5.690 trillion in the union budget, which is 5.10% of the GDP.

Global market sentiments have improved following policy interventions in the euro area and positive data from the US. The recent firming up of growth fundamentals in the US coupled with policy measures in the euro area have helped abate fears of a double dip recession in the advanced economies (AEs). This has helped stabilise the troubled global financial markets and economy. Nevertheless, signs of a mild recession in the euro area, slowdown of growth in emerging and developing economies (EDEs) including China and India and surging crude oil prices bring to the fore risks to recovery in global growth and inflation. High liquidity from the extended easy monetary policy regimes globally has associated risks for capital flows to the EDEs.

 

Nevertheless, the global economy is unlikely to lapse into another recession. The above factors coupled with better than expected recovery in the US growth have temporarily helped reduce the stress in global financial markets and could have channelled FII flows into Emerging Developing Economies in search of higher yields. Rupee depreciated from 44.65 as on 31.03.2011 to 51.16 as on 31.03.2012 per US $, owing to higher crude oil prices due to geo-political factors and increased dollar demand.

 

 

MEASURES ANNOUNCED BY RBI AND GOVERNMENT OF INDIA

 

Fiscal policy has a key role to play in speeding up public investment to crowd in private investment while ensuring fiscal consolidation. Growth is likely to improve moderately in 2012-13. While inflation has moderated, risks to inflation are still on the upside. Accordingly, monetary policy needs to support growth without inflation and external imbalances by excessively fuelling demand. Inflation is likely to remain sticky at about current level during the year with the probability of further significant moderation being small.

 

Revival in the industrial sector hinges on the impetus to ease supply-side constraints, especially in the energy and mineral deficits. Government initiatives to revive the power sector would be helpful in reviving the growth momentum. Increased capital outlays in the latest budget and brisk pace of tendering of road projects suggest some improvement in investment in latter part of 2012-13. Commitment to cap subsidies to 2 per cent of GDP is a positive step. Upside risks stem if phasing-in of flexible pricing of administered petroleum products is delayed. Under-recoveries would then exceed those in 2011-12 causing a large fiscal slippage. This poses challenges for aggregate demand management during 2012-13.

 

Generalised price pressures softened as growth deceleration eased demand. This is also evident in a significant decline in core inflation during Q4 of 2011-12. The pricing power of companies has waned with moderation in demand. However, the path of inflation in 2012-13 could remain sticky around current levels due to high oil prices, large suppressed inflation, exchange rate pass-through, impact of freight and tax hikes, wage pressure and structural impediments to supply response. Inflation expectations moderated in Q4 of 2012-13 but remain high. With significant upside risks to inflation, monetary policy needs to keep them anchored, while shifting the balance of policy to arrest the deceleration in growth momentum.

 

 

TRENDS IN BANKING INDUSTRY

 

Growth in Aggregate Deposits in 2011-12 has been lower than the corresponding period of the previous year. While the year-on-year growth in Aggregate Deposits was 13.4 per cent during 2011-12, it was 15.9 percent during 2010- 11. Advances of Banks have also shown a decreasing trend during 2011-12. Growth in Bank Credit extended by ASCBs stood at 17.0 percent as on 23rd March 2012 as compared to 21.5 percent in the previous year. On the other hand, Credit-Deposit Ratio has increased from 75.68% as on 25.03.2011 to 78.11% as on 23.03.2012.

 

Term deposits recorded robust growth during calendar year 2011 mainly reflecting substitution from the other components of monetary aggregates and small savings as the increase in deposit rates by Banks incentivised the holdings of interest-bearing deposits. During Q4 of 2011-12, however, term deposit growth decelerated, mainly reflecting the dominance of the base effect and tight liquidity conditions. Consequently, Banks increased their recourse to non-deposit sources, such as borrowings by way of debt instruments and LAF during 2011-12 compared with the previous year.

 

The divergence between credit and the deposit growth rates had narrowed during the first three quarters of 2011-12. The sharper deceleration in deposit growth during Q4 of 2011-12 and turnaround in credit growth during March 2012, however, caused the divergence to increase. As deposit growth moderated, commercial banks’ recourse to non deposit sources of finance (viz., borrowings) increased. During Q4 of 2011-12, deposit rates of SCBs remained mostly unchanged from their peak levels attained in H1 of 2011-12. Lending rates marginally notched up and seem to have plateaued in H2 of 2011-12 in line with the peaking of the policy rate cycle. Despite tight liquidity conditions, successive policy rate hikes and high cost of funds for Banks, the base rate remained sticky on account of the slowdown in non-food credit growth during H2 of 2011-12.

OUTLOOK FOR 2012-13

 

The advance estimate of the GDP growth of 6.9 per cent for 2011-12 by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) is close to the Reserve Bank’s baseline projection of 7.0 per cent. Going forward into 2012-13, assuming a normal monsoon, agricultural growth could stay close to the trend level. Industry is expected to perform better than in last year as leading indicators of industry suggest a turnaround in IIP growth. The global outlook also looks slightly better than expected earlier. Overall, the domestic growth outlook for 2012-13 looks a little better than in 2011-12. Accordingly, the baseline GDP growth for 2012-13 is projected at 7.3 per cent.

 

Consistent with growth and inflation projections, M3 growth for 2012-13, for policy purposes, is projected by RBI at 15 percent. Consequently, aggregate deposits of SCBs are projected to grow by 16 per cent. Keeping in view the need to balance the resource requirements of the private sector and the public sector, growth in non-food credit of SCBs is projected at 17 per cent by the RBI.

 

The domestic demand-supply balance, the global trends in commodity prices and the likely demand scenario, the baseline projection for WPI inflation for March 2013 is placed at 6.5 per cent. Inflation is expected to remain range bound during the year.

 

After raising the policy rate by 375 basis points during March 2010- October 2011 to contain inflation and anchor inflation expectations, the Reserve Bank paused in its mid-quarter review (MQR) of December 2011. Subsequent growth inflation dynamics prompted the Reserve Bank to indicate that no further tightening was required and that future actions would be towards lowering the rates.

 

The policy actions taken by RBI during the year were expected to:

 

·         Stabilise growth around its current post-crisis trend;

·         Contain risks of inflation and inflation expectations resurging;

·         Enhance the liquidity cushion available to the system.

 

 

Against this backdrop, the stance of monetary policy of RBI in future is intended to:

 

·         Adjust policy rates to levels consistent with the current growth moderation.

·         Guard against risks of demand-led inflationary pressures re-emerging.

·         Provide a greater liquidity cushion to the financial system.
